“Khari, do you think we belong here?” Reid sat awkwardly against the wall of Khari’s tent. He knew he was welcome here, and he knew that Khari didn’t mind his presence, but he still felt slightly uncomfortable. He liked Khari. He was pretty sure she didn’t mind him, either. He’d just never felt quite as … Continue reading Belonging

Thesh
When Thesh came to him, it felt like he had been struck by a blast of lightning. Most of the Guardians had remained standing, but Zain, to his embarrassment, had wound up on the floor, his muscles quivering with the shock. His knees had failed him, and he’d barely had the control to soften … Continue reading Thesh
Jhor
The sun shone bright above her, bearing down with a strength that should have brought about an unbearable heat, given the season and the clarity of the sky, in which, through the small window afforded by the walls of the courtyard, not a cloud could be seen. It was nearly midday. They would break from … Continue reading Jhor
Enneagram
I've written some about the Guardians of Lora on Aia. You can find those stories, and a few others that take place on Aia, through the Directory. My struggle on Aia has been in determining who the villain is, because I started with primarily a concept of who the "good guys" are. This is my first … Continue reading Enneagram
Kelal
Din, Héan, Andron, and Lightness are all related to this entry. It's not necessary to read all of the others, but I would recommend reading Din first. In a small, sunlit room on the fourth floor of the castle, Alana read. On the tenth day of every week, Lora gave the Guardians the morning to themselves. They were free … Continue reading Kelal
The Harpist
The carriage trundled to a stop. Hawke sighed at what he saw through the window. The inn at which they would stay the night, though large, would likely have little in the way of the comforts to which he had long be accustomed. Namely, running water and indoor plumbing. His nose crinkled at the thought … Continue reading The Harpist
Lightness
Corran’s smile still glowed on his face as he left the lounge, still bright from the light and warmth that the presence of the others had so quickly come to mean to him. As he shut the door, Tynus made a joke that he didn’t quite hear, but the rest of them laughed. They were … Continue reading Lightness
Andron
For one sweet hour after the midday meal, Amèlia had no commitments. Queen Lora filled the rest of the Guardian’s days with a regimented schedule of exercise, education, and martial training, and practice with their newfound abilities, but this hour, she allowed them to have to themselves. Though Amèlia took great joy in everything she … Continue reading Andron
Evondel’s Reply
This letter replies directly to the one seen yesterday in Alliance. Lady Qelenara, I’m not man who generally admits to his emotions. That being said, I must admit that every word I read from your previous communication distressed me further. It took me quite a while to formulate a response that my scribe deemed appropriate to … Continue reading Evondel’s Reply
Alliance
Lord Evondel, Greetings and salutations. I hope that this missive finds you in good health and under the blessings of Denyr. I wish I could say that I write to you today purely out of friendship and respect, but I am afraid that you will find the contents of my letter to be somewhat less … Continue reading Alliance
